Chapter 19: Jade Roasted Wheat (II)
"Mencius saw King Hui of Liang. The king said, 'Why! Thousands of miles away, there will also be Eli my country? ……”
The sound of reading aloud has been the same for several years. Rong Yue, who was sitting cross-legged on the small couch outside, stopped the needlework in her hand and listened to the sound of reading coming from inside with a smile.
The tone is abrupt and clear.
Although the old lady is more strict, she can control the young master. Mrs. often brought words to ask the young master about the situation, and if the old lady said a kind word in the letter, she would be satisfied.
"Tom!"
Something hit the ground. Rong Yue was startled, and the embroidery needle stabbed her finger. She didn't have time to take a look, she looked up at the chiming clock on the table opposite, and her heart sank.
What time has it been, and the snacks haven't been delivered yet. Rongyue hurriedly got off the bed and quietly looked inside.
Zhao Xihou's face was tense, and he turned around with his hands behind his back.
lifted the curtain and went out, and called a little maid and whispered: "Come to the kitchen and ask, why hasn't the young master's snacks been delivered yet?" ”
The little maid was just about to ask, but the kitchen man brought the snacks.
"Why is it so late?"
Feng Quan'er, who delivered the things, just handed over the food box in his hand, but did not speak, and quietly stayed outside, wanting to see what the situation was.
Rong Yue didn't bother to take care of the people in the kitchen, so she hurriedly entered the house and said softly: "The kitchen has sent snacks to the young master." ”
Zhao Xihou did not respond. Rong Yue quietly peeked at Zhao Xihou's complexion, fortunately, a little relaxed. She took out the snacks, put them on the table, and personally brought water to Zhao Xihou to wash his hands.
Nineteen-year-old Zhao Xi already had a little stubble under his thick lips, and he was wearing a dark cyan round neck with long pleats, lined with a hint of bookishness, but he looked elegant and elegant. It's just that the good-looking eyebrows are tightly locked, and the corners of the mouth twitch inpatiently.
He took a jade roasted wheat and looked at it.
The roasted wheat husk is transparent, and you can see the green filling on the inside from the outside, and the ham paste is dotted on it, and the appearance is very beautiful. "The skin is as thin as paper, the filling is green, and the color is like jade. Sure enough, it's jade roasted wheat! ”
I took a shallow bite and savored it. Sweet and fragrant...... But...... He only took one bite and put down his chopsticks.
"The kitchen guy is still outside?"
Rongyue hurriedly answered and called the people from the kitchen to come in.
"Who did this? What about Uncle Wang? ”
Feng Quan'er secretly said in her heart, but she didn't dare to say half a point, and said with a smile: "It's what Master Wang did." ”
"Humph!" I don't want Zhao Xihou to sneer, "You can't eat it when I can?" ”
He no longer touches the dim sum for half a minute, just drinks tea. Although the ingredients are the same, they are still different from what Uncle Wang made.
Feng Quan'er couldn't respond directly to Zhao Yuan's orders, he had to listen to Zhao Xihou's point, and he was a clever person in his own life, so he hurriedly shouted: "It's really Master Wang's doing." "Ruixue's surname is Wang, it's okay to call Master Wang! But this is the name...... Something weird!
"Still sloppy with me? The material is the same material, but the technique is different, and the taste is different! Although Zhao Xihou said this, he himself couldn't understand why the same ingredients tasted different.
Feng Quan'er was convinced, and said with a smile: "Third Young Master, you are really a god!" This is made by Ruixue, Master Wang was sick yesterday and can't cook. I specially asked Ruixue to send it, please try it, but what's missing? ”
Rong Yue was a little unhappy on her face: "Rui Xue is only how old is it, this thing can be served?" ”
Zhao Xihou sandwiched a piece of roasted wheat, put it in his mouth and ate it, and nodded: "It's not bad!" ”
Zhao Xihou squinted with satisfaction and looked at the few snacks with a smile. Reading every day until this time, eating some snacks is a great pleasure.
Rongyue poured hot tea and served it to Zhao Xihou, pursed her lips and laughed at his satisfied look: "What kind of good thing, young master baby like this?" I don't believe how well a child as old as Ruixue can do. ”
Zhao Xihou just ate snacks and didn't speak. looked at Feng Quan'er and looked at him, and said, "You go back and say, the taste is good, but the skin is a little worse, and the stuffing can't be mixed." ”
Feng Quan'er looked at it without a trace of anger on his face, and secretly said, is this Rui Xue's craftsmanship really so good? Yesterday Rui Xue did what the red-billed green parrot brother young master also lost his temper, why don't you have a temper at all today? No matter how capable this person is, it can't change overnight.
After eating five siu mai and taking a sip of hot tea, Zhao Xihou asked with a smile: "What kind of peony flower job did the fifth sister ask you for?" Bring it to me and bring it with you. ”
Rongyue hurriedly answered, found two embroidered jobs and handed them over: "My work is not good, please don't dislike the fifth girl." ”
Zhao Xihou took a look at the embroidered things on it, waved his hand and said, "If you are told to bring it, what so much nonsense!" He changed his clothes, opened the cupboard, took a wooden box, tucked the two pieces of work into his cuffs, and hurried out.
Rong Yue lifted the curtain and followed behind, instructing, "Young Master come back early." ”
This young master sees the five girls go for most of the day every time, if the old lady knows, his efforts are just to deal with things, and he doesn't know what the family will be like in chaos.
*
"Girl, the young master is here." The maid guarding the door saw Zhao Xihou coming over and hurriedly opened the curtain.
Zhao Xiyun, who was writing by the window, put down his pen and stood up to greet his cousin. When she saw that this cousin looked around her room as soon as she came in, she immediately understood, and said with a smile: "What is the third brother looking for?" Ruixue didn't come today. ”
Zhao Xihou didn't see the person he wanted to see in the room, so he took out the two pieces of work in his sleeve with a sneer: "Rongyue said that this is what you want, and I brought it here." ”
Zhao Xiyun knew that coming to send things was just an excuse, but it was not easy to find out, so she took two jobs and looked at them, and pushed them back: "She originally made it for you, but now she has sent it again, how bad it is." ”
"What are you writing about?" Zhao Xihou was too lazy to say and asked casually.
In the past few years, Zhao Xiyun has also read a few books under the guidance of Mrs. Zhao, and when he has nothing to do, he also writes a few words for pastime. ”
Zhao Xiyun's words are graceful and soft, and at a glance, he knows that this is a common problem of women in the world - lack of wrist strength, and he is not good at talking too much, so he only smiled and said: "It would be good if you could enter the wood for three points." ”
Zhao Xiyun sighed, handed tea to Zhao Xihou, and asked him to sit down: "I also know, but I can't always practice well." I can't be like the third brother at that time, with an iron sand bag tied to my hand! ”
Zhao Xihou smiled and didn't speak, his grandfather took this word very seriously, and specially tied an iron sand bag to his hand, and wrote it for more than three years before taking it off.
"You are good enough among women. Is it possible to be the second Mrs. Wei? ”
"The third brother is making fun of me again!" Zhao Xiyun frowned and said unhappily, she doesn't like to hear people say anything like a female master, although the family is a scholarly family, but this always makes her feel harsh, "You also know that I just pass the time with nothing to do on weekdays!" ”
"By the way, last time you embroidered a few lines on the fan sleeve you made for me, my grandfather was very happy to see it, and asked me who made it!"
Zhao Xiyun heard that Mrs. Zhao liked it, and a hint of blush appeared on her fair face: "I was waiting for my grandfather's birthday to embroider a screen with the word Baishou as a birthday gift, but how can I see people with this word?" ”
Zhao Xihou played with the paper fan in his hand and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this." Baishou I wrote it, my sister just embroidered it? Even the things that took me with them became them. Isn't it that my sister can't even do embroidery? ”
"The third brother knows how to make fun of me. The third brother, the sixth brother of the third uncle's family, has already entered the school, and the college examination is the fifth kui. This May exam will bless you to win the first prize in one fell swoop. ”
Zhao Xihou said indifferently: "If you go to school, you will go to school, what is there to say, it is not Jinshi and No. 1." But it's not uncommon for our family to have a jinshi! ”
"It's not unusual. It's just that you were taught by your grandfather himself, so you can't lose to the sixth brother! ”
"What's there to fight about! It's just something out of four books, rote memorization. ”
Zhao Xihou said it very wildly, but Zhao Xiyun understood that the third brother had the capital to be wild. He was able to write a policy essay with only one cup of tea, and the county test shocked Yang County.
A county student who entered school at the age of fourteen, how many people are boasting, saying that a prodigy is still alive; The sixth brother entered school at the age of twelve, and the third aunt wrote a letter back, listening to the meaning, it seems that you can become famous without being taught by your grandfather.
But in her eyes, these people are not as good as the third brother.
Zhao Xihou looked indifferent, just playing with his fan.
Zhao Xiyun wanted to say a few more words to him, after all, there were no sisters in the family to talk to, only this third brother could accompany him to talk, but he couldn't say a few words to him and became cold, and saw that he was looking for someone as soon as he came in, and knew that he had something in his heart, so he hurried and said: "You go quickly!" People are here, and their hearts don't know where to fly! ”
Zhao Xihou, who was said to be thoughtful, smiled embarrassedly: "Fifth sister, what do you want, just say, I'll bring it to you when I go back!" ”
"You're going out again? What if my grandfather finds out? As soon as Zhao Xiyun heard that he was going out, he hurriedly stopped him, and the third brother often slipped out, and every time he used himself as a cover, in case he called his grandfather to know one day, it would not be a bad thing.
Zhao Xihou smiled and didn't speak, but said, "How can you know?" I'll tell Rui Xue to leave the door for me, and if I find you here, you'll just say it as before. By the way, what do you want? If not, I'll go! ”
"The root carving you brought yesterday is good. And clay figurines. Ruixue took it, and I want it too. Zhao Xiyun blushed slightly, and said a few things hurriedly. When I visited the temple, I saw roadside gadgets, but the girl's house was inconvenient, so I had to ask the third brother to buy them.
Zhao Xihou stopped and asked, "Is it a clay figure?" What kind of did she take? ”
"The root carving and the clay figurine have been taken. Third brother, you can bring two copies next time, every time Rui Xue sees it, she likes it very much, and I don't want to give her a few. Although she shouldn't rob Rui Xue, but she likes it very much, Zhao Xiyun looked at the small box in Zhao Xihou's hand and asked, "But what are you?" ”
Zhao Xihou pushed the box over: "She took a few of you, and you picked them out of here." I'm buying it for your share anyway. ”
Zhao Xiyun pushed: "I don't want it, you can go out and bring me some gadgets today." ”
Zhao Xihou suddenly stretched out his hand to Zhao Xiyun: "Give money!" ”
stretched out a hand unexpectedly, but it scared Zhao Xiyun. She covered her mouth tightly, her beautiful eyes widened, and when she saw the smile on Zhao Xi's thick face, she eased up. With a red face, he was about to fight, but where he could fight, Zhao Xihou had already jumped out.
